| |
Simon |
Archie |
| Before |
1 u + 54 |
5 u + 10 |
| Change |
- 54 |
- 10 |
| After |
1 u |
5 u |
Simon and Archie had an equal number of mini cupcakes at first.
5 u + 10 = 1 u + 54
5 u - 1 u = 54 - 10
4 u = 44
1 u = 44 ÷ 4 = 11
Number of mini cupcakes that each of them had at first
= 1 u + 54
= 11 + 54
= 65
Answer(s): 65
